All the benchmarks I see put them within frames of each other. I say whichever is cheaper, because it appears performance is practically identical between the two. See for yourself.
i have a 4850 and its been great. one thing is to make sure your computer has good ventilation because it runs very hot, howeverno games have crashed so i'm sure its able to run at high temps. also note this is in a dell minitower, so i don't think you could have worse ventilation than i don lol.
You don't need to bump a thread when its only been two hours. Anyway, both your PSU and motherboard should be fine. I had a GTS 250 and 500W PSU in my old system.
gts 250 is the same as a 9800gtx+ btw, except the 1GB version which I believe had a die shrink or something of the sort, as it runs cooler than a 9800gtx+. Vs a 4850, they are pretty much within spitting distance of each other (depending on game) so get whichever is cheaper or whether you favor physx or not.
i didnt mean the forums , check the reviews , because at forums you'll always find biased opinions , i suffered from this when i wanted to choose between this card and ati 4870 !! and you can use youtube to search for videos by the cards you're investigating , anyways good luck :)
